Make all AI features optional, and opt-out by default.
For any features on Twitch which use AI, allow all creators to opt in or opt out of them individually, and set the default to Opt Out for all new AI features. We as creators should have the choice whether to use AI or not on our channels. If we do not want to use it at all, it's important for us to be able to have that choice, AND for us not to be opted in by default.

I will *NEVER* allow anything I create to be used for AI training, and I don't want to use any gen-AI features. Period. I will drop twitch immediately if I'm forced to train or use AI, take my community with me, and cancel my subs and amazon prime.
I can stream on YouTube or other platforms.

I demand the ability to opt out of all AI training on my content on Twitch. I'm fully prepared to offboard from my Affiliate program and join a competitor if there aren't community-suggested, sensible FULL AI opt-out features available with whatever Twitch will be doing with generative AI.
If it's discovered that streams are being trained on AI models without our consent, the platform will likely sink. Aren't you having monetary issues already? Take a look at the recent feedback on Stellar Blade's AI generated music video for an example of how the platform and its leadership will be ridiculed if generate AI implementation into the platform continues.

I agree. I try to avoid AI generated content and would likely reduce the time I spend watching Twitch, or even potentially abandon Twitch as an entertainment platform if the integrated AI was forced upon viewers. It should be default to "Opt Out" for creators, and there should also be a channel tag or notification that a channel has opted in to using the AI features.

We don't want the technological equivalent of asbestos training on our streams and VODs, especially by default. At most, it should be opt-in by default, but ideally, Gen AI shouldn't be integrated at all.

This sucks. 99% of the user base doesn't want forced AI features. Forcing it will cause the death of Twitch.

Just stop adding AI training features in general. No one wants this software to be trained off of their voice or their face. Enough of this.

It's insane that we are at this point of things with AI. I know dozens of streamers that would be uncomfortable with this and thousands of viewers that would stop using the platform if this were to happen

Any AI features, especially the use of our streams for AI training, should be Opt-Out by default. I do not and never will consent to being used as training data in any capacity. I do not stream so some giant corporation and those that place no value in creative fields and use their "products" can slurp up all my hard work and spit out a poor imitation that'll be used to scam people and destroy the environment.

Hey Twitch... you know that ALOT of people do not like AI? dude this is NOT a good thing bro. There are SO MANY other things that people have wanted with Twitch and you decided to do this. Chatters aren't gonna like it, I've already seen a BUNCH of streamers say they will leave if its implemented. if you are gonna add this junk, the VERY LEAST you could do is let us opt-out of all of the AI junk and make it OFF by default! Alot of us do like streaming on Twitch and would love to keep doing what we love to do...and this is gonna ***** your dwindling reputation even more.

I do not want my voice or anyone else's voice to be used for AI Training without consent. Stop trying to force AI into everything, violating our privacy and stealing our work.

No one with enough braincells actually wants GenAI in the first place, yet corpo-pigs are more than happy to try and hamfist it into everything they can for... profit? I guess that's the idea, which is amusing considering that GenAI is circling the toilet. Slowly and surely, but when it's dead and flush, I imagine it'll take everything that's touched it with it. So the bare minimum they should have is opt out of ALL GenAi related interactions AND off by default.
**** GenAI, and **** Twitch for thinking this will enhance the platform. -

Gen AI should be opt-in, not opt-out, meaning it should be off by default. And you absolutely should not use your own end users' streams as training data without their EXPLICIT permission, not a line buried in the ToS.

Here’s a better idea: Don’t add any generative ai features at all. Nobody asked for these and nobody clearly wants them. Things have worked just fine without them and will continue to work without useless ai bloat.

Literally nobody who uses this platform wants gen AI features. If it becomes mandatory for Twitch to scrape our streams for training data, I'll be quitting this website immediately and permanently; do not test me.

Streamers don't want this, audiences don't want this--nobody using this service wants to have their data and creative work subject to exposure to any generative AI nonsense. If what Twitch has recently proposed comes to fruition I will exit the site altogether and I have 100% certainty that there will be a mass exodus. Make a commitment to not roll out these features at all. I will not settle for simply "making it opt-in," I will continue to disparage any board of directors who do tries to make them an option AT ALL.
